Axial UTB18 Capra 1:18 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy

Axial’s popular Capra has an all-new member of the family that comes in a compact 1:18-scale size but packs a big punch – the UTB18 Capra 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy. Fully equipped and ready-to-run, it is similar in design to the popular 1/10 scale Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy and has a scaled-down Capra tube chassis. Like the larger trail buggy, the UTB18 Capra also has portal axles. They give the UTB18 Capra extra ground clearance for manoeuvring. Add in its axle-mounted, low profile 1/10 scale servo for quick, strong steering and the durable 4-link suspension system, and the UTB18 Capra is ready to prove that size has nothing to do with crawling performance. Officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires mounted to officially licensed Raceline Monster wheels give it the grip to conquer rocky trails, rough dirt tracks, and most other off-road surfaces. Body panels with licensed livery, helmeted driver and passenger figures, LED lights and more combine for realistic scale looks to match its capabilities on the trails. The UTB18 comes with high-quality electronics, a Spektrum SLT2 radio, LiPo battery, and Dynamite USB charger.

Schumacher ProCat Classic 4wd buggy

Having given us the Cougar Classic back in June, Schumacher have introduced the latest in their line of re-release cars, the ProCat.  The legendary Schumacher ProCat dominated 4WD off road racing in the early 90’s, winning multiple championships including the 1990 Euros with the late great Phil Davies. Now you can relive the glory days with the ProCat Classic. It is an authentic re-release using much of the original tooling, but with a few subtle improvements such as fittings for modern lipo batteries. The ProCat Classic will be a top contender at historic RC races, or will make a fabulous addition to any collection, as one of the most iconic RC cars of all time.

Boom Racing KUDU Multifunctional Soldering Jig

Boom Racing have released this KUDU Multifunctional Soldering Jig. Designed from the ground up the jig is a beautifully crafted high-end billet aluminium and steel tool set for your R/C applications. Being an R/C car manufacturer and hobbyists themselves, they solder many things on a consistent basis with one of the frequent pain points while soldering wires is not having a motor stand with the soldering jig. Having the motor roll around while soldering can be a time-consuming and unpleasant experience. Speaking to other hobbyists they found that they too experience the same issues so went about gathering their requirements and expectations to design an all-in-one solution. The jig is ideal for soldering all types of R/C connectors, especially for R/C cars with the built-in steel electric motor stand. It works with many of the common types of R/C connectors and gives you the freedom to move to get the best soldering angles, with a sturdy base and compact design.
